>>04 Given a particular camera position, as lenses of various focal lengths are >>placed on the camera the perspective of the recorded scene changes. >>TRUE or FALSE >As phrased, and with my camera equipment, the answer is TRUE yet I'm half >expecting the required answer to be false. Why is that? Well, as noted with the altazimuth item I may not have all the questions "under control" so it is quite possible I did not phrase the question properly. In any case the point was to be that perspective is a matter of camera position and not of lens focal length. Long focal length lenses just show less of the surrounding scene. If photos are made with a wide angle lens but the central portion is blown up to match the image size of something included in a photo made with a longer focal length lens the perspective, ie: relationship between sizes of objects in the scene, should be the same in both photographs. So, maybe a better phrasing of the question is in order - that is the best I could come up with as I am putting this exam together and so help is appreciated!
